We were just down in CR for medical (from Port Hardy) and finally decided to stop in after hearing how amazing this place is from friends.
Our server was Anna and she was absolutely incredible! We both ordered a clubhouse, my husband on the sourdough she recommended and myself on marble rye as that is my fav. He has worked in restaurants for 37 years and said this was probably the best clubhouse he had ever had.

Great drinks! Great atmosphere and the service is spot on!
Multiple award winning food and service. Friendly staff - treats you like family. Fast service. Our favourite place in Campbell River for lunch and breakfast.
